It seems to me that the optimism of the Greek philo-
sophers depended to a great extent on economic reasons ;
it probably arose in the rich and commercial urban
populations who were able to regard the universe as an
immense shop full of excellent things with which they could
satisfy
their greed.

Lights
When we come home at night and close the door,
Standing together in the
shadowy
room,
Safe in our own love and the gentle gloom,
Glad of familiar wall and chair and floor,
Glad to leave far below the clanging city;
Looking far downward to the glaring street
Gaudy with light, yet tired with many feet,
In both of us wells up a wordless pity;
Men have tried hard to put away the dark;
A million lighted windows brilliantly
Inlay with squares of gold the winter night,
But to us standing here there comes the stark
Sense of the lives behind each yellow light,
And not one wholly joyous, proud, or free.
